Looking ahead for fun things to do? Please put us on your “To Do” list on February 24-25, 2024 in JD Hamel Park: the premiere of the Sarasota Festival of the Arts. The event will showcase the original works of artisans and crafters from throughout Florida and across the United States. The event is graciously hosted by the Downtown Sarasota Enrichment Association.

Over 70 artisans will showcase their art, in the process creating an outdoor gallery of spectacular painting, sculpture, jewelry, photography, glass, ceramics, fiber and wearable art, mixed-media, metalwork, graphics, woodworking and more. Explore a diversity of styles, techniques and materials guided by the unique and compelling visions of each artisan. Discuss with the artists how they create and become inspired. Explore commissioning a unique piece of art made specifically for you!

The Sarasota Festival of the Arts is open 10am-5pm both Saturday and Sunday. Admission is FREE! Immerse yourself in the visual experience as your sensibilities and appreciation for beauty guide you!
